Harry's pov

It was now the next day, me and Severus seemed to have clicked. We started random conversations when ever and would whisper jokes about teachers, it was almost like we were made to be bestfriends. It was lunch and me and Severus walked down to the hall in a deep talk about DADA

"I wonder how much the teachers get paid to work here. I would love to be a defence against the dark arts teacher one day" Severus said. Harry smirked to himself remembering that the Severus in his timeline was obsessed with the job, although he has never got it.

"I dont think they get paid that much if any at all" I said smiling. He smirked and laughed under his breath. We sat down at the same spot we sat at for breakfast and he made an "oh" noise and pulled out a book

"I seen how much you like to read so I thought I would let you borrow this, it's my favorite book..." he mumbled handing it to me. I smiled and thanked him, putting the book in my bag. We joked around a bit as we ate and then walked to our next class.

Classes went slowly and once again it felt like eyes were watching me the hole time. But when ever I took a quick look around nobody was looking. Severus spotted my discomfort and whispered to me asking if I was okay. I lied and said I was, I'll tell him later.

After the last class me and Severus got up, I looked up and seen that tom was watching me. I smiled and waved at him. He gave a half smile back and walked out of the class quickly. I sighed and hoped that he wasn't going to do anything bad. I decided to follow him, I quickly told sev that he can go to our room and wait for me and that I just have to cheek something.

Oh no he seen me looking. He only smiled and waved and me, once again that bubbly feeling came back but ignoring it I gave him a half smile and walked out of the class before the redness reached my cheeks. I started walking out side to the tree I normally sat at to get away from everyone. The sky was a dark grey meaning it was going to rain soon. I heard foot steps behind me and looked around to see harry

"Hi!" He said smiling at me. That feeling again...

"Granger" I said nodding my head. He looked at me confused for a moment but realization soon took over and he smiled again

"Why are you out here? It looks like its gonna rain" he said looking up. I smirked,

"The rain is beautiful, why hide away from it?" I said simply. I never really spoke my mind like this to anyone but for some reason harry Granger was just different. He looked at me shocked and then smiled a little

"Wow... I guess that's true... you like sitting when it's raining then?" He asked. I nodded my head and sat down letting my back rest against the tree. He laughed under his breath looking at me with amusement

"Have you ever tasted rain?" He asked sitting in front of me. The bubbly feeling came stronger then ever at that moment I felt as if I was going to be sick.

"Yeah" I said simply, watching as he lay down and looked up at the sky

"What does it taste like to you?" I asked feeling my cheeks heat up.

"Freedom" he mumbled

"Yeah?" I said asking for him to go on. He let out a sigh

"My family, they always locked me inside. The only time I was to go outside was to collect the morning paper. So rain is like a sign to me now that I am completely free" he said looking over at me nervously, clearly having a fight with himself if he was wrong to tell me this. I looked up at the sky and decided that I could trust this boy, although I dont know him.

"To me it tastes like independence I guess" I said moving to lay down next to him

"I grew up having to follow rules. Never really being able to make my own choices. It was rule to only leave the building on a sunny day and only at lunch time. I was only able to see rain go down the glass window. Now I'm able to make my own choices and I'm able to touch it" I said going red realizing I told him way more then I ment to. He smiled and me. At that exact moment the rain started to fall down on us and it soon was poring down on us soaking our robes and making our hair lay flat on our heads. Harry laughed and closed his eyes, at this exact moment my heart started to beat fast. I felt like I wanted to touch him, that's exactly what I done. I let my hand brush his and he made a little gasping noise but didnt say anything

His hand touched mine as we lay there. Since the first time I seen him yesterday I felt this weird feeling towards him. Since he had lay beside me I wanted to touch him, but I didnt knowing it was a completely bad idea but the was he brushed his hand against mine made me go crazy. I looked over at him and he was already looking at me nervously. I gently moved my hand closer and brushed my fingers against his cold skin. He blushed and moved his fingers to touch my fingertips. I wrapped my fingers with his pushing our hands together. We both blushed and looked up at the sky as we continued to lay there holding hands.
